Summary

I am an active duty military spouse with two children. Unfortunately, in the beginning of my husband's career we had several moves resulting in me not being able to have longevity with a company in my field. Then becoming a mom of two, I have been out of my field pursuing alternative work that has a schedule that aligns with my childcare needs. I have a true passion working with individuals with mental health needs and enhancing their overall quality of life. I am eager to get back into my field and doing work that I am passionate about and having the ability to help people again.
